Whether your event is a simple meeting of ten people or a conference of 500 attendees, the basics of event planning remain the same. This no-nonsense guide provides all the
resources you need to prepare for, and conduct, a successful meeting, conference or workshop including detailed, practical information on choosing a speaker and a venue, budgets, day of the
event and post-event activities, and promotion and publicity.

Beyond laying out the complete process with step-by-step ease, the Event Planning Guide provides examples
of the forms and checklists you can use to ensure you get things done right, and on schedule. Purchasers of the book also receive access to a website where they can download and print the forms
for their own use.
